CWN Editor's Note: A group of self-styled Tanzanian Catholics attempted to deliver a petition to Pope Leo via the apostolic nunciature criticizing the leaders of the nation’s episcopal conference for alleged political interference.
“Severe doubts have been raised on social media as to whether the petition signatories actually belong to the Catholic Church,” the Fides news agency reported. Last fall, the bishops criticized the violent suppression of political protests and called for an independent investigation.
